Farmall Super BMD
The Farmall Super BMD is a robust tractor built for serious farm work. It features a 5-speed gear transmission with one reverse gear, giving farmers good control over their speed in the field. The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine made by International Harvester. This engine has a displacement of 264 cubic inches, which is quite large for a tractor of this size. The Super BMD is well-sized for many farm tasks. It measures 113.5 inches long, 96 inches wide, and 77.6 inches tall. Weighing in at 5,456 pounds, it's heavy enough to handle tough jobs but not so heavy that it will severely compact soil.

The electric starter makes it easy to get the tractor going, even on cold mornings.
